The construction of REV marks a leap in innovation of yacht building in a number of ways. Apart from the yacht’s size, which will see her top the LOA of the world’s current largest superyacht Azzam by 2 metres, REV’s onboard systems are expected to be those of ‘one of the best equipped if not the best equipped scientific ships around’, as Espen told us. Counting amongst them major trawling equipment, submarines and an on-board auditorium, REV’s on-board facilities and equipment will push the boundaries of traditional yacht building in unprecedented ways.
Following her technical launch which took place in July 2023, Lürssen’s Project Deep Blue is set to officially launch in 2024. She is estimated to have a LOA of over 130m, with all aspects of her build and design being kept tightly under wraps. It is speculated that she has an interior volume of around 9,000 GT and is set to be the 14th largest yacht built by the German yard, taking her place between 135m CRESCENT and 126.2m OCTOPUS.
Project Tanzanite is a 120 metre motor yacht by Amels. Not only is she set to be the largest yacht ever built by the shipyard, she is also geared up to be the largest yacht to ever be launched from the Netherlands.
Oceanco's PROJECT Y722 is set to become one of the top 100 largest superyachts in the world, with a projected volume just under 5,000 GT. Currently in the outfitting phase at the Alblasserdam facility, the yacht is scheduled for delivery in the summer of 2025. With a design focused on sustainability, PROJECT Y722 will feature a diesel-electric power plant and a battery-powered system for extended emission-free operation. Crafted for scientific research and discovery, this impressive vessel will combine cutting-edge technology, luxury, and exploration capabilities, solidifying its place as one of the most innovative superyachts in the world.
Lürssen’s monumental explorer yacht SHACKLETON, more commonly known by her previous codename of Project Icecap, is due to be delivered to her owner in 2025. Aptly named after the great Irish explorer Earnest Shackleton, this 107m vessel appears to be an extremely capable adventure yacht, adorned with a unique axe-style, ice-class steel bow. She was sold in 2018 to her owner by Moran Yacht & Ship, with exteriors designed by Salt Ship Design, which were first revealed to the industry in 2022 at the time of her launch. Whilst details remain relatively sparse, the broker has revealed that she can accommodate 20 guests across 10 cabins, with a 17.5m beam, a 4.5m draft and a gross tonnage of 5885.
Project JASSJ is an 103m motor yacht currently under construction with Lurssen Yachts. This mammoth build was initially revealed to the industry in 2021 when brokerage Moran Yacht & Ship announced her sale at the Monaco Yacht Show. Whilst most details of her specifications undoubtedly remain sparse, her exterior and interior designer have been revealed as penned by RWD. She is said to offer accommodation for up to 20 guests across 10 cabins, and is expected to boast a cutting edge beach club. Project JASSJ is expected for delivery in 2025.
Project 1013 is a highly secretive motor yacht from Dutch yard Feadship, set to join the world's Top 100 largest yachts list with a length of 101 metres.
Feadship’s Project 824 is set to be one of the top 100 largest yachts in the world, measuring an impressive 100m in length. With its sleek, modern design featuring a plumb bow, low profile, and elegant curves, the yacht embodies luxury and sophistication. Notable features include a superyacht pool on the main deck, a forward tender garage with a shell door for easy tender launching, and a beach club with unfolding balconies, creating an expansive space for relaxation and entertainment. Project 824 promises to be a standout among the largest yachts, offering a perfect blend of cutting-edge design, comfort, and functionality.
